"The defeat marked New York's 12th in a row, its longest losing streak since August 2002. Of the previous 139 teams in the World Series era to have a losing streak of at least 12 games in a season, zero teams made the postseason."
"Minnesota focused on the No. 12 in its social media post with a subtle troll, highlighting things one can get in a dozen: eggs, roses and Mets losses."
"New York's skid began on April 8 and carried over on a road trip to Los Angeles and Chicago. The Mets have blown a lead in six of the 12 games with two straight losses in the ninth inning or later."
"However, one more loss marks 13 straight -- a baker's dozen ... and not a number known for its luck."
The New York Mets lost their 12th straight game, falling to the Minnesota Twins 5-3. The Mets initially led but were overtaken in the ninth inning. This losing streak is the longest for the Mets since August 2002, and historically, no team with a losing streak of 12 games or more has made the postseason. Minnesota humorously highlighted the number 12 on social media, comparing it to eggs, roses, and Mets losses. The Mets will face the Twins again soon, risking a 13-game losing streak.
